While I’m not against taking action because of a “rumbling”; I actually do believe in the adage, “action conquers fear”.
I also adhere to “atomic habits” and the power of 1%.
A caterpillar doesn’t become a butterfly overnight in one grand step/stage of transformation. That transformation, which came about through four distinct stages and approximately a month’s time, is witnessed in one grand reveal.
Indeed exciting and a miracle in my opinion.
I suppose I am a believer in both the bold, grand decision and the small 1% moves.
I hope I’m not avoiding hard decisions by adopting this position.
Michael Bungay Stanier says that a worthy goal has three defining characteristics: important, daunting and thrilling. I have struggled for way too long trying to apply Thrilling. This insight - daring to do what my primal question screams at me not to do - has opened me to new worlds of possibilities. Thank you!
So for me being a primal question 1. Am i safe. I never realized how much this question dictated my life
I’ve built walls so high that nobody really knows me.
I can stay surface level with everyone. So I’m working on breaking down those walls. Exposure therapy sounds absolutely horrible but it’s probably needed
I think this points to why we need to bring our questions into community, and build a community where the vulnerable questions are welcomed and held. It’s not enough to just be internally aware and reflective. I also need people to see me and challenge me towards my self integrity, to hold up the mirror so I can see my avoidance, control, manipulation, etc, to cheer me on into new ways of being, and to hold with me in the discomfort and awkwardness and fear of learning those new ways.
I have been procrastinating launching my coaching business and this am I woke up determined that today is the day. I prayed that the Lord would guide me and speak to me specifically about a few things. As soon as I finished my prayer this E mail popped up.
Thank you for sharing. It is EXACTLY what I needed to hear this am.
It is freeing to realize that I am not in control of the outcome.

Cheers Mike!!
I love the deeper dive. We are designed for community and deep connectedness and, the paradox, we have all our needs mat by Christ.
